We stayed at the hotel the weekend after they had the fire. The only thing I have good to say is that our room was clean. Other than the tub looking like it was from the 1930's and the shower head needing some C.L.R., the room was nice. The pool was very dirty. There were zip ties holding the drain down in the bottom of the pool that are sharp and could cut your foot. The seating in the lobby looks like something out of the 1940's. Some were even broken. Good luck seeing the koi fish in the koi pond! It desperately needs drained and cleaned. Most of the staff we encountered other than at the front desk, couldn't speak english. Which is very frusterating. The theater looks like it has needed updated for about 40 years now. We encountered a couple at the pool who were there for their anniversary of 29 years and had spent their honeymoon at the resort. They said not one thing has changed since they were there 29 years ago! Not anything in the lobby, pool, or rooms! That is pretty sad. I believe if they don't shut down and renovate the older buildings, they will be shut down for good. I would say IF we went back, we would stay in the Avila condos because everything else is in shambles! I highly doubt we do go back though.

We purchased a living social deal for The Lodge of 4 Seasons. We got 2 nights, 100$ resort credit, and breakfast each morning at Breezes. We stayed in the Avila condos. These were built recently. The rooms are VERY nice. Clean, nice appliances, flat screen TVs (even in the bathroom). We were very pleased with the Avilas. The main part of the lodge is very dated. You can tell it has been there a long time. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife received a massage at Spa Shiki, which was very good, but a little pricey. The breakfast buffet at Breezes was very good. The staff and waitresses at Breezes were great.Overall great location, great staff, but the property besides The Avilas is very dated. With a little love it can be a top notch resort!

THE GOOD:Spa Shiki (A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.)Lovely views and Japanese gardensStaff is very friendly and politeAvila Condos are very spaciousThe Lodge was peaceful and not crowded (even during Spring Break)Indoor movie theater (very large, movie theater seating)Very Pet friendlyPrivate beach/ dock area

THE BAD:The view from our roomThe food (AWFUL and way too expensive) $3.00 for a chocolate chip cookie! $9.00 for a baked potatoFacilities and room keys did not work properlyOur condo was not as clean as it should have beenThermostat was not working properly (had to call maintenance three times)Indoor/Outdoor Pool was completely out of order one day we were thereLack of communication amongst staff membersDid not get room service order rightFitness center was small and terribly outdated (free weights were completely rusted out)

In summary, I do not think this property can surpass a three-star rating unless rectifies some major issues-

1. Amenities and Facilities at the Lodge need to be updated and working properly for all guests. Guests should not have to call the front desk three times to get something fixed. Guests should not have to walk to the front desk (multiple times) to access the fitness center or pool. These things should just occur flawlessly.

2. Pay attention to the details. If I am paying close to $300 a night- give me a lake view as I requested. Make sure my room is spotless clean (I agree with another reviewer that the nightstands & bed frames were dusty), the box of kleenex in my bathroom was sopping wet when I first arrived? Weird...was it dropped in a toliet? In the sink? I found a crusty stain on my comforter...was it washed before I arrived? But, the worst and grossest thing were the boogers smeared on the wall right next to closet. Someone did minimal surface cleaning before we arrived, but that was it! The Avila suites are lovely and spacious, but the above concerned me and put a damper on my stay. After awhile, our family got sick of calling to have things fixed or rectified, because it starts to completely ruin your trip. In the end, it doesn't matter how beautiful your grounds are, or how friendly and apologetic your staff is, if you can't get it right the first time.

This resort and location has potential, but in the meantime... I guess if you are looking to spend $300 a night and are expecting near flawless service, new and updated amenities & facilities and strict attention to guest needs & details...then you might have to actually stay at a Four Seasons or a Ritz Carlton etc...

Room Tip: We booked with Hotels.com and saved $200 and received free breakfast. The Avila Condos are the newes...

Thank you for letting us know about your stay at The Lodge of Four Seasons. We strive to provide a quality guest experience at The Lodge and it seems clear that we did not succeed in providing that for you and your party. I have met with the staff and discussed each one of your concerns. I strongly agree that spotless clean rooms are a must. Also as you stated we are a pet friendly property. We have designated rooms on the ground floors in areas of the resort as pet rooms. We believe this offers convenience for our guests that enjoy having their pets with them. The down side is that it reduces view of the lake. Thank you for staying with us at The Lodge.

What a beautiful time to spend a weekend at Lodge of Four Seasons! Cherry trees, Dogwood, and Azaleas all in full bloom. They have a beautiful Japanese garden that looks out over the lake--hard to keep your mind on business meetings! Great service, even the maintenance guy asked if I was enjoying my stay.

Room Tip: Choose a room in the 6000---great floors, main lodge

Thank you for spending your weekend at The Lodge. It has been a wonderful spring time at The Lake of the Ozarks. Sorry you had to spend time on business while you were here. Just remember we are always here and you are welcome to return anytime.

We purchased a groupon for two nights at the Lodge of Four Seasons and had a great time. The groupon included the breakfast buffet at Breezes both mornings, two rounds of golf each day and an evening meal at HK's. The entire trip was relaxing and stress free! We enjoyed all the meals at the Lodge, our room had a beautiful view of the lake and a balcony to sit on and enjoy the view. The service we received was better than anything we have every received at any other place we have stayed. The staff always went above and beyond what we asked of them! This was our first trip to Lake of the Ozarks but it will definitely not be our last, and we will be staying at the Lodge when we do make that trip!

Room Tip: I do not have any tips for choosing a good room.

I bought a Groupon for the Lodge of Four Seasons at the Lake of the Ozarks. We are not new to the area. We used to own a condo off Horseshoe Bend and we keep a boat on the West side of the lake but this is the area we frequent. However, we generally avoid the Lodge after having had a bad experience or two many years ago, both with substandard accommodations and dining. Always willing to give another chance especially with a great Groupon deal of 2 nights in a lodge room with a lake view and breakfast both mornings for a very reasonable price, off we went before our deal expired. The weather cooperated so nicely we could not have asked for more other than our boat de-winterized so we could enjoy the water. But since not, I decided to book a spa date. Spa Shiki is quite an experience and everyone who stays at the Lodge should try it. It was an expensive outing as the service I wanted to book was not available, component parts were, but at a higher price which was disappointing. I enjoyed it none the less. Our room was very large, spacious and comfortable with a water view. Unlike our experiences so many years ago, it was very clean and seemed to have enjoyed some updating in recent times. The piece de resistance was dining at HKs. This restaurant is now located in the Lodge itself so it is so accessible regardless of what you have been about doing with your time. Our server was excellent and the food magnifique. We know all the fine (and not so fine) dining establishments at the Lake and we never ranked HKs among the best - but it was and whether you are staying at the Lodge or not, HKs needs to be on your dining destination list. (I highly recommend both steak and lobster tail.) This resort really stacks up with the best as an all around destination spot at the Lake. Whether you have other business or fun things to do at the Lake, the Lodge of Four Seasons offers the opportunity to capture everything you want to do at one spot, and does not disappoint.

Is there a con? Yes, the bed was lumpy and not a good night's sleep. I would like to see every hotel and B&B invest in latex foam with memory foam top mattresses. They offer a perfect night's rest and resist bugs - what else could you ask for?

My husband and I have stayed here a couple of times. We haven't had a bad experience yet. The staff are very friendly and do a great job of going the extra mile. The property is beautiful. Other resorts and hotels in the area have really gotten old and aren't being kept up, but the Lodge is step ahead of the rest. Will definitely stay here again.
